Global bond yields rose sharply on July 8, 2026, following President Trump's statement that the ceasefire with Iran is 'over.' European bonds saw the largest moves, with benchmark 10-year yields in the UK, France, and Italy rising more than 10 basis points. US Treasury yields also increased, with both the 10-year and 2-year yields advancing about 3 basis points. The yield movements were driven by a jump in oil prices, as traders fear that higher energy costs could add to inflationary pressures. Since the start of the war, Treasury yields have moved closely with oil prices. The article, published by Yahoo Finance and originally from the Wall Street Journal, highlights the interconnectedness of geopolitical events, energy markets, and bond market reactions.
